### Wiki
The [Wiki](ay-start-form-wiki.md) feature has been changed based on user feedback.
The [Wiki](ay-start-form-wiki.md) feature has been changed substantially based on user feedback.
##### Editor
Previously there was a hybrid Wiki system, remote users (WBI) would interact with an HTML editor and HTML representation of the wiki document and windows AyaNova users would interact with a "rich text" editor similar to Wordpad. This required behind the scenes translations between Rich text format and HTML format and the results were not always compatible. In addition, it would have been very difficult to edit Wiki pages on small screen devices.
Now, a Wiki document is edited using [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) a simple plain text formatting language. This allows us to provide an efficient and easy to use editor for Wiki pages that will work on any AyaNova supported device.
##### Embedded files
Previously users were able to embed files into a Wiki document which was in turn stored directly in the AyaNova database which could cause issues and lead to longer backup and restore times.
Now, we have expanded this feature into it's own separate [Attachments](ay-start-form-attachments.md) feature

### Documents / Wiki Embedded files -> Attachments
All attached and embedded file features have been consolidated in v8 into a new [Attachments](ay-start-form-attachments.md) feature.
todo: major differences from v7 here
* Attachment storage
* in v7 embedded wiki files were stored *inside* the database, now Attachments are stored in a special folder in the file system to avoid bloating the database.
* In v7 Documents were simply links to existing files visible to the workstations / server; file attachments are stored in a special folder managed by the AyaNova server making it easier to backup and restore and ensure all data is consolidated in one folder.
* Rename - can now rename an attached file
* Notes - there is now a notes field
